Princess Martha shared a look at her gorgeous engagement ring
Royal fans flocked to the comments section to share heartfelt messages to the loved-up couple. "Congratulations, wishing you both and your family all the best," wrote one, while another commented: "A huge congratulations to a beautiful couple!!!"
Martha's parents Herald and Sonja have also sent their congratulations to their eldest child and Durek, who is not expected to get a Norwegian royal title.
The couple confirmed their relationship in 2019
"His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen send their most heartfelt congratulations to Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett on the occasion of their engagement, and wish them all the best for the future," they said.
Meanwhile, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette Marit also shared their own public message. "Their Royal Highnesses The Crown Prince and Crown Princess and their family extend their warmest congratulations to Princess Märtha Louise and Durek Verrett on the occasion of their engagement. They send their best wishes to the whole family for a happy future," a statement from the royal family continued.
The royal was previously married to the late Ari Behn
The couple confirmed their relationship in May 2019, nearly three years after Martha's divorce from late husband Ari Behn was finalised. Durek admitted in 2020 that he had received the blessing of her parents to propose and had originally planned to pop the question in February during a trip to Hawaii, but changed his mind after following the death of the Princess' former husband, Ari Behn, who died by suicide on 25 December 2019.
Princess Märtha shares three daughters Maud, 19, Leah, 17, and Emma, 13, with her ex-husband and writer Ari Behn, to whom she was married from 2002 to 2017.
